Many of which are barely SuperXV standard, let alone international standard.  
Some of these players could maybe play test rugby for the likes of Italy, Canada and Scotland.

So we have 18 test quality centres?

Dave, at the risk of incurring your wrath, what are you basing the test readiness of someone like Tyler Fisher on?

I know you've been banging on about this youngster since you saw him in some age-group comp but as far as I know he hasn't played in a Currie Cup game yet let alone a Super Rugby game . . . and yet here you are saying he's ready for a test match?

By could play test rugby......I don't mean right now......so Fisher is one I think is good enough to play test rugby at some point....I hope we see him in the Sharks side soon having just come back from injury.


But my point is that I seriously think that any of those centres listed would not let us down in a test match.


If Frans Venter was selected at 12 for the Boks, I'd be happy with that.....he is a better player than say Brad Barritt or Crotty........same can be said.


And yes most of these lads wont get a smell of test rugby, but I believe they are good enough to play at the highest level.
